Welcome to Cover Snark, where the people are snarky and the covers quiver in fear. Since I don’t write many snarky book reviews here on A Reader of Fictions, Cover Snark is my outlet. If you click on the title of the book, where possible, I’ve linked to Goodreads. Clicking on the cover itself will show you the cover in a larger size, in most cases. Feel free to love covers I hate and vice versa. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Please note that you should by no means contact the author if you do not like their cover; they likely have ZERO control. Feel free to express opinions in the comments, but please do not @ an author on Twitter because of anything you’ve seen here. Let’s keep it kind.

4. The Sandcastle Empire – Kayla OlsonThoughts: It might have been a bit on the nose but this could have had a boss sandcastle on it but instead it’s the cover of some horror movie about an island vacation.

WTF of the Week:

WTF of the Week began as a special category for one cover I saw, but was so popular it became a recurring feature. Here, I highlight covers, both new and old, that I’ve found, which, upon viewing, made me either snort or say something along the lines of “Dear God, what is that thing?”

13. But not as cute. And kind of boring.
15. This looks so lazy!
18. Ooh it’s making me think of Wonder Woman minus the sword.
21. I’m hoping this will be super cute because I’m all over it haha. And I like the cover, the characters remind me of grown up Fangirl drawings!
24. LOVE this, surprisingly. The bronze and turquoise look awesome.
29. WHAT THE FUCK. And why isn’t this WTF of the Week.
32. It’s actually the third book in the series! I’m super excited 😀 And I like the old burned paper look haha.
